(If you’re not sure what size/capacity you need, read my article “How to Determine What Size Dehumidifier You Need”.)

Given that the Frigidaire FFAD5033R1 is the higher capacity and more powerful dehumidifier, it follows that there is a difference in overall size/weight, motor power and wattage between these 2 dehumidifiers.

The Frigidaire FFAD3033R1 is the smaller and lighter dehumidifier of the two, taking up less space overall.  It weighs approximately 34 lbs compared to the FFAD5033R1’s 46 lbs, and measures around 4” lower in height and around an inch less in width and depth than the FFAD5033R1.  Both dehumidifiers feature caster wheels and top and side handles for easy maneuverability between rooms.

If your home is showing signs of damp, musty odors, black/wet spots on walls or floors, you may well be considering a dehumidifier to help remove excess moisture in your home.  But how do you decide what size dehumidifier you need?

Generally, there are 2 things to look for when determining what size dehumidifier is best for your home:

CAPACITY
i.e. the amount of moisture a dehumidifier can extract from the air per day
(typically labelled in Pint Capacity, e.g. 30 pints, 50 pints etc)

AIR FLOW VOLUME
i.e. the amount of air and time it takes the air to move through the dehumidifier
(typically labelled as CFM which stands for Cubic Feet per Minute)

Let’s take a look at each of these 2 measurements in detail to help you work out what size dehumidifier is best for you:
